The health and safety of our patients and staff is our top priority. Our in-office safety policies are aligned with the latest guidelines issued by the CDC and local government officials related to COVID-19.
New safety policies for patients
- Patients undergo screening questions and receive comprehensive instructions about our new policies prior to their appointment.
- Patients are instructed to come to the office wearing a mask.
- Patient temperatures are checked via touchless forehead scanners upon arrival to the office.
- We have reorganized our offices to maximize social distancing and cleanliness, and we have altered workflows to allow patients to wait outside or in their cars until their exam room is ready. Patients are contacted via text message or phone call when the provider is ready for the visit to begin.
- We are asking for patients to arrive at their appointment alone. For children and adult patients who require a caretaker, one adult may accompany the patient.
- Patients who are sick or have COVID-19 symptoms will be rescheduled.
- Office is cleaned and disinfected frequently throughout the day.
